Friendliest post office/shop in the area. Always get a great reception even when buying just one item. Post Office offers basic services all the time the shop is open which is very convenient in this rural area.

This was our first visit to the Laird's House following it's renaissance under new management. Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our previous visits, we much preferred the more relaxed atmosphere in the place on this occasion. The menu seems to be rather more extensive than before. We both ate from the 3 course fixed price lunch menu, which gave exceptionally good value for money. Each course we had was well pesented, well cooked and generous.The bread and butter pudding was truly the lightest one I have ever tasted. You could almost swear there were no calories in it.......... The wine was good and reasonably priced. We had to ask for water, but that was hardly a hardship. I do hope that more folk discover the place as the large open space cries out for lots of diners to provide more of an atmosphere. The chap in charge was excellent at jollying us all along - he must be exhausted by the end of the day. All in all a really positive experience and I think we will return often both for casual coffees (and scones!)and meals. .

John Tainsh sells Jacobs Creek shiraz cabernet for £5.49p. Tescos sell the same wine for £7.79p, i asked John if he made any profit on his wine, he assured me he does.. A great wee corner shop with a service with a smile and of course bargain's.

It took on the arrival of Tesco only about 12 miles away as a challenge and improved itself hugely. The owners are in the shop most days, they - and their staff- are always helpful, and they will always try and get what one asks for - if they can't its the fault of the system.
